I broke...

So my plan for the year is to buy smarter. I adore shopping... you guys know that... so today, I came to terms with it myself. I like buying things- lol- and I think I always will. The goal is to accept it then make better, wiser choices (sounds good, right?). With that in mind, I bought these today...


Thigh boots are a wardrobe staple... don't judge me! I bought a pair at lunch and a hamburger. UrbanOutfitters.com $148.00. I like them so much I wanna wear them with sexy underwear and nothing else- lol...

Its not going to be winter forever, so I'm snatching up cute stuff now... like this?

Asos.com, on clearance for $37.39. I think I need one...

Confession time- I bought more than those boots today... I spent about $30 at Forever21.com today. Another one of those functional purchases- a cardigan & some rings. The plan is to wear the cardigan with the boots on date night... with those sexy panties... lol.

I'm back!

Happy New Year...

Hi guys!

I said it once before, I had no intention of participating in the recession. However, it wanted to make me play with it. I haven't been doing a whole lot of shopping, trying to get smart about how I spend my money. I think I need to start being smarter about how I spend my money. There's nothing like buying 5 or 6 pairs of shoes in a month, but there is a really great feeling buying this



That was my Christmas gift to myself...

I'll be back to buying shoes later this week... maybe...

Dress to impress

A good dress is always very necessary... Whether you're going to work, a dinner party or just need to get your "Single Lady" on, you can't go wrong with a hot frock. In the new year, with all the meetings, dinners & fancy affairs I am no doubt attending, I'ma be in one. Check me out...

It is just about my birthday... you always have to look like the party girl then...

Animal print with neon?! Need this.... Asos.com. LIPSY $101.98. This is a dress that will definitely get me a bunch of well wishes...

These may work with that...

They aren't expensive but they kinda work for me. Gladiator styled shoes obviously aren't going anywhere. MINT by Michael Antonio, Flyjane.net $64.95

This one is perfect for a meeting with a great client... I'm going to land the contract in this...

If you haven't started shopping with Asos, you're missing out big time! I am completely obsessing over dramatic shoulders- this dress does it for me! The color is gorgeous on olive, golden or warm skin tones. Its made of stretch jersey with shoulder pads- I'm ordering it TODAY! $64.50- no brainer!

I fell in love with these shoes... and bought them...

These are the price of a cable bill but look like a million bucks! I don't know what it is about nubuck but it screams sexy. The ankle comes up high & they're about a 6 inch heel... they'd look good on naked- TRUST ME!

In 2010, I have a few award shows I'm going to be in the audience of. Beyonce & Rhianna no doubt will shut each of those shows down but I have to at least try to get one photo op... this will have me on a blog for sure...

I'm such an Asos fan.. I can't say it enough. This dress looks a paycheck but it isn't even as much as a cell phone bill. $59.49!!!

With these...

Another Asos.com purchase... KG by Kurt Geiger. The chains, ankle straps & patent leather scream classy yet bad girl- LOVE IT! $152.90- which is the price of my cell phone bill...

How do I look?

Guess who's back!

After a lot of work & some regrouping, I'm back. Time to shop & find you some good stuff. In the meanwhile, someone we know has finally made a move on the future. Blog you tomorrow...

Oops I did it again!

I kinda took a vacay from blogging but not on purpose... I'll be right back- promise!

Bad Ass!

Hey all...

It's been a bit over a week & I haven't posted anything... bad blogger... I've really wanted to but just haven't. It shouldn't ever be more than a week- forgive me?

For some reason, I'm loving black clothes right now. Anything with studs that's black is even better. Rhianna has really made a huge impact on making my inner rockstar coming out.


This bustier is hot- really hot. The insets are lace, which channels my inner Appolonia. It looks a bit like a dress and those studs!!! Asos.com- $63.83. This says "sexy bad ass" with


... some leggings. "Liquid leggings" are the best in leggings. I know some folks wish they'd go away but I thank the fashion gods every time I put some on. Ones with a bit of shine or look leathery can class up a look real fast as long as you match it with something tasteful. I think they work well with this bustier- Arden B. for $28.


An ankle boot works well with everything. "Revolvor" by Steve Madden for $94.98 makes nice with this look. The peep toe and dramatic ankle instep make these just enough but not too much matched up with the bustier. They look very similar to a Marc by Marc Jacobs bootie, but for about $500 less. Grab some silver set rhinestone studs- you're good!

You can be a rockstar & still be a classy lady. Look at what I found-

OOOH! Now look at the back-

I adore Asos.com. You can find all kinds of designer things without the wallet-busting prices. It looks very Indian influenced but still smells like a sexy rockstar. The open back & arms are so, so sultry. There are a few different nights this dress would be great. Not bad for $173.25-

I'm torn... which shoe?

I really like this bootie slash pump. Its by Madison Harding at Nordstrom online & in-store. This shoe gives the dress a little extra umph... or I can always grab these...

You can never go wrong with Louboutin...

I think I like this...

I'm telling you- Asos.com- you can't go wrong. "Lipsy" studded dress- $118.54. There's something so bad ass but sweet about this dress. You need a motorcycle & a good red lipstick for this.

I'm a fan of booties with girly dresses...

More Steve Madden. I don't care what anyone says, on a smart budget, you can't go wrong with Steve Madden. Yes they are the knock of kings however you can get a great pair of shoes that can shut down the side walk, pay your rent & still have a tip for the valet. With that dress, these boots with the larger studs work. "Cintia", $159.95. This is the boot you could grab the leggings from above, a white v-neck tee & a black leather jacket. All you'll need is a pair of mirrored avaitors & you're ready!

Obey the speed limit!

Time to shop!!!

Hey hey! I think I buy myself something daily. Nail polish, french fries, earrings... something. Never anything that breaks the bank- lately things to turn up my wardrobe & sexy factor. Here's another event I have to hit & buy some fly drag (cute clothes... lol)



If you're in LA this Saturday, October 17th, swing through. There's gonna be some great indie designers & lots pf pampering. Its always nice when you can get massaged & take home something to put on your nice, relaxed body. Get the car washed in the morning, hit the sale in the afternoon... I have your whole day planned out!
